ab, wodurch sich die Ventilnadel 3 entgegen der Hubrichtung
bewegt. Dadurch setzt der Ventilschließkörper 4 auf der
Ventilsitzfläche 6 auf und das Brennstoffeinspritzventil 1
wird geschlossen. Der Anker 20 setzt auf dem durch den
zweiten Flansch 31 gebildeten Ankeranschlag auf.If the coil current is turned off, the
Fig. 2A und 2B zeigen in einer vergrößerten schematischen
Aufsicht auf das abspritzseitige Ende des in Fig. 1
dargestellten Brennstoffeinspritzventils 1 zwei
Ausführungsbeispiele der erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen.Figs. 2A and 2B show in an enlarged schematic
Top view of the discharge-side end of the in Fig. 1st
illustrated
Wie bereits in der Beschreibung zu Fig. 1 kurz angesprochen,
verfügt das Brennstoffeinspritzventil 1 im Bereich des
Ventilsitzkörpers 5 an einer dem Brennraum der
Brennkraftmaschine zugewandten Stirnseite 35, die
vorzugsweise konisch oder kalottenförmig nach außen gewölbt
ist, über eine rillenartige Oberflächenstruktur 34, welche
zum Abtransport von sich im Bereich der Abspritzöffnungen 7
niederschlagenden Brennstoffs dient.As already briefly mentioned in the description of FIG. 1,
has the
Durch die erfindungsgemäße rillenartige Oberflächenstruktur
34 kann die Verkokung der Abspritzöffnungen 7 reduziert
werden. Da der Durchmesser der Abspritzöffnungen 7
typischerweise ca. 100 µm beträgt, ist die Gefahr, daß die
Abspritzöffnungen 7 durch Verkokung mit der Zeit verstopfen
und somit die Durchflußmenge unzulässig stark eingeschränkt
wird, relativ groß. Dies ist insbesondere durch die hohen
Temperaturen beim Durchzünden der in den Brennraum
eingespritzten Gemischwolke bedingt, da sich dadurch
Bestandteile des Brennstoffs an der Spitze des
Brennstoffeinspritzventils 1 absetzen. Durch die Anbringung
der rillenartigen Oberflächenstruktur 34 kann im
Austrittsbereich der Abspritzöffnungen 7 zurückbleibender
Brennstoff abtransportiert werden, so daß die
Abspritzöffnungen 7 nicht durch Verkokungsrückstände
zuwachsen können. By the groove-like surface structure according to the
Fig. 2A zeigt ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel der
rillenartigen Oberflächenstruktur 34. Die Anzahl der
Abspritzöffnungen 7 beträgt im vorliegenden
Ausführungsbeispiel sechs. Sie sind auf einem zu einer
Mittelachse des Brennstoffeinspritzventils 1 und/oder des
Ventilsitzkörpers 5 konzentrischen Kreis angeordnet. Von
jeder der Abspritzöffnungen 7 geht eine Rille 36 aus, die
eine radial von der jeweiligen Abspritzöffnung 7 nach außen
gerichtete Richtungskomponente hat. Die Rillen 36 sind dabei
mehr oder weniger stark gebogen, um einen optimalen
Abtransport von Brennstoff, der sich im Bereich der
Abspritzöffnungen 7 niedergeschlagen hat, zu gewährleisten.
Alternativ ist es möglich, zur Reduzierung des
Fertigungsaufwands die Anzahl der Rillen 36 zu reduzieren,
so daß beispielsweise nur jede zweite Abspritzöffnung 7 mit
einer Rille 36 in Verbindung steht.Fig. 2A shows a first embodiment of
groove-
Die Rillen 36 können einen beliebigen Querschnitt aufweisen,
wobei ein U-förmiger Querschnitt strömungs- und
fertigungstechnisch am günstigsten ist. Der Querschnitt kann
sich beispielsweise auch zu den radial äußeren Enden 38 der
Rillen 36 hin abflachen; weiterhin können die Enden 38 auch
aufgeweitet sein. Die Herstellung der Rillen 36 erfolgt
beispielsweise durch Drehen während der Herstellung des
Ventilsitzkörpers 5. Auch eine nachträgliche Herstellung auf
chemischem Weg, beispielsweise durch Ätzen, ist möglich.The

Embodiment of an inventively designed
Wie in dem in Fig. 2A dargestellten ersten
Ausführungsbeispiel weist das Brennstoffeinspritzventil 1
sechs Abspritzöffnungen 7 auf, welche ebenfalls auf einem
Kreis angeordnet sind. Zum Abtransport von Brennstoff dient
im vorliegenden zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel eine Einzelrille
37, welche von nur einer Abspritzöffnung 7 ausgeht und
schneckenförmig so radial nach außen verläuft, daß alle
Abspritzöffnungen 7 radial innerhalb der Einzelrille 37
liegen. Alternativ wäre es auch möglich, die
Abspritzöffnungen 7 auf einer schneckenförmigen Linie
anzuordnen, welche parallel zu der schneckenförmigen
Einzelrille 37 verläuft.As in the first shown in Fig. 2A
Embodiment, the
Die Einzelrille 37 muß die Abspritzöffnungen 7 zumindest
einmal ganz umlaufen, damit der Abtransport von Brennstoff
von allen Abspritzöffnungen 7 gewährleistet ist. Wie im
ersten Ausführungsbeispiel kann die Einzelrille 37 bei der
Herstellung des Ventilsitzkörpers 5 durch Drehen hergestellt
oder nachträglich auf chemischem oder mechanischem Weg
eingebracht werden. Als mögliche Querschnittsform bietet
sich ebenfalls ein U-förmiger Querschnitt evtl. mit
verbreitertem und/oder abgeflachten Ende 38 an.The
Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die dargestellten
Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt und für eine beliebige
Anzahl von Abspritzöffnungen 7, welche in beliebiger Weise
am abspritzseitigen Ende des Brennstoffeinspritzventils 1
angeordnet sein können, für eine beliebige Anzahl von Rillen
36 sowie für beliebige Bauweisen von
Brennstoffeinspritzventilen 1 anwendbar.The invention is not limited to those shown
